What would the liability be for the source of the Omicron variant?

This is an unfounded assumption that does nothing but enable a belief no matter what information may be presented.

Anything that goes against the belief can be dismissed as a fabrication because the countering information is “too dangerous” to get out.

It is quite convenient.

Admitting secret development of a variant that is designed to be highly infectious variant that is likely to bypass the vaccines is likely to result in felony charges in the US:

Whoever knowingly possesses any biological agent, toxin, or delivery system of a type or in a quantity that, under the circumstances, is not reasonably justified by a prophylactic, protective, bona fide research, or other peaceful purpose, shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both.

Who would be stupid enough to take that risk?

I agree… who would be that stupid?

So… to argue that it is happening without evidence is silly.

If Omicron effectively ends the pandemic, should the government adopt a strategy of manufacturing and releasing less-dangerous variants to save lives in future pandemics?

If years from now a researcher comes forward and says that he produced and released Omicron to save millions of lives, should he face prosecution?

No. 10 no.

If Omicron is really a mild as it appears, millions of lives could have been saved if it could have been produced and released in 2020. No lockdowns or vaccines are required.

Why would you be against that?

Manufacturing viruses and intentionally releasing them into the public is what we all used to call a bad thing.

So the doctor that introduced the omnicron variant to the world, in her same breath said it wasn’t a threat. Isn’t it bizarre that our government only heard the first half of her sentence.

Okay, and manufacturing vaccines and forcing people to take them is a good thing?

Vaccines are not communicable.

Yes, unless you force be people to get vaccinated.

Releasing a benign virus to act to produce immunity is the same thing from what I can see. A virus has the added benefit of immediately displacing more-dangerous variants. That is what is happening in South Africa.

Yes, Omicron is looking like a very benign variant that could end the pandemic.

Should the government release benign variants to end future epidemics? A similar technique is used to deal with outbreaks of pests.

Sure. Let’s call it a “vaccination” and make it free.

I suspect Pfizer, Moderna, and J&J will be all over that.

If one person is vaccinated, they do not transmit antibodies since antibodies are not communicable.

Manufacturing a virus and releasing to go out into the world, infect people and replicate it is supremely stupid because evolution is a thing.

The government acts as the vector for infecting people with coerced vaccinations.

It is acting like a mosquito with malaria.

Vaccines are not infections.

How is that a conspiracy?

WMD are notoriously hazardous and uncontrollable for everyone.

Many vaccines are viruses.

Viral vaccines
Live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV)[49]
Japanese encephalitis vaccine[50]
Measles vaccine[51]
Mumps vaccine[52]
Measles and rubella (MR) vaccine[53]
Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine[54]
Measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (MMRV) vaccine[54]
Polio vaccine[55]
Rotavirus vaccine[56]
Rubella vaccine[57]
Smallpox vaccine[58]
Varicella vaccine[59]
Yellow fever vaccine[60]
Zoster/shingles vaccine[61]

mRNA vaccines use the cells to produce proteins to induce immunity. They are very similar to viruses in their actions.

Expanding it to be beyond Covid to make a point.

Kudos mate.

But getting back to what we are actually talking about… mRNA vaccines do not produce an infectious agent that is communicable.

Yes, the government-enforced mandates are the vector for the mRNA infection. They are sort of like ticks for Lyme disease, which cannot be transmitted between humans.

Putin recently compared the Omicron variant to a “live vaccine”.

Should Russia face sanctions if there is evidence that Omicron came from a Russian lab?

Or would that mean that Putin and Russian scientists should get a Nobel prize for saving millions of lives?
